A university person who disdains gender studies and/or their core beliefs has very little chance of survival in universities. Can anyone name a university which has several strong faculty voices which consistently oppose Gender Studies? No such camp of opposing voices within academia exists -- nor would such a voice stand a snowball&#39;s chance in hell of surviving in academia. I stopped donating to my alumni association once I learned that a Gender Studies faculty member became Dean of something or other.Nooyawkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15239991952397397463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-5776867310418136762011-09-10T19:50:25.475-05:002011-09-10T19:50:25.475-05:00These women are ayatollahs, plain and simple.
